Hello!! =) My name is Visaria, or you can call me by my nickname Wing if it’s easier. I originally came from GZ China and live in Chicago IL, U.S. for most of my life. I am a preschool teacher, love both visual arts and martial arts. I like learning about different cultures and people, exploring and traveling around the world with my camera. I also enjoy being in nature and appreciate the beauty of God's creation. I am a visual and hands-on learner, every step I take and every place I go, it's a learning experience to broaden my view to see the world in a different perspective. I believe that “life begins at the end of our comfort zone. We must take adventures in order to know where we truely belong. Yet, the world is big and I want to get a good look at it before it gets dark.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The decision on moving to Poland alone to experience a different lifestyle and working environment in Europe despite with all the struggles and difficulties along the way. Meanwhile, started my solo traveling trips to more than 20 different countries along this journey.

Besides, it is an amazing experience paragliding over Oludeniz beach from Babadag Mountain in Fethiye; being in the magical land of Turkey and watching the sunrise in the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia; spend New Year Eve with a Bedouin family and other travelers in a camp site of Wadi Rum desert and stay overnight under the stars.
Also, the experience to chase the Aurora Borealis in the winter wonderland of Alaska.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learned that the most valuable possessions I will ever own are NOT my things, but my experiences. Thus I enjoy listening and sharing unique stories to reach worldwide audience.
I believe that every individual in different stage of life has something special to offer in teaching us a lesson. No matter if that person is a newborn, a child, an adult or an elder. As a preschool teacher I learned so much from my students as I would teach them. Therefore, I am open to learn from everyone that I meet along this journey and I am hoping that you would feel the same way as we share our experiences together. :)
